Well , what i'm reading is....it's ok that i have to micro like crazy to beat a guy that mostly sits idly. FUUUNNNN!! Especially when you lose.

People are blowing this out of proportion. The not that big of a problem unless its Rome because of hardy size 100 units in assumed 20 sized armies. I've played many KH games where I have just been overran by Aedui or Sweboz.

Its like how in Starcraft at the mid-skill levels, many Terrans will take enough of the map where they can turtle and starve out the opponent. This takes less technical skill than a Zerg opponent who has to manage more bases around the whole map, more units, and has to find and exploit the weak points in the wall of Terran mines and tanks. Is it fun, not that much but its part of how the game is: the Terran can always choose to turtle and you have to throw the resources of the whole map at him to break them. Now when you get to higher levels, most Terrans don't turtle because most of the time its not an optimal strategy. You give up all map control when you do so people don't go Turtling Terran for the most part unless its a last stand sort of situation where you don't have any map control anyway.

Like I've said before, play at lower money where skill matters more.

Have you figured out yet the counter to mass lancers, HAs, and missile units at the 24k level? It's defeated the strongest Rome armies at 24k, and I know because I used the missile army myself.

Mass Infantry + Missile? I don't know. Rome always has failed against Steppe type armies so I don't 24K wil change that.

The the other hand, the last time I tried a mass HA + Lancer archer, I got murdered by pantodapoi(the 800 mnai variety). It was pretty Lol - Worthy.

Time to rein in those egoes and whatnot, and start being civil I think.

Perhaps for the next tournament, we should set the agreed mnai allotment at 29000?

What's the reasoning behind this? You'd like to add a mid-level money game? We already have high and low.
